Obstacle Running Adventures

I had a few things planned that didn’t work out yet but I went through my episode plans and bumped a future episode idea up earlier. I have wanted to have on the show for his own episode because our paths have crossed at the , WTM, and Spartan New Jersey Ultra! He seems like a great guy and I wanted to learn more about him, his history of body building, and hear about his performance training.

Obstacle Running Adventures

is almost upon us ... which is a very strange thing to say in June since it has always been in either December or November!

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts!

He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable! There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some. We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together. See the shows mentioned in the time stamps...

438. World's Toughest Mudder First Timer Questions with Josh Fiore!

Obstacle Running Adventures

With World's Toughest Mudder coming up soon and it being both the first time the event is taking place in Europe as well as Katelyn's first time tackling the event herself, we figured it would be a good time to both selflessly and selfishly have an episode focused on first timer questions!

More Episodes

After Evan Perperis interviewed Mike to talk about OCR in the Northeast on Strength and Speed (listen to episode here), Mike pulled an uno reverse and asked Evan to come on our show!

We have heard of some events that take place in the center of the country but to have a much better idea of the state of the sport in that region it takes someone more local to the area. With Evan living there for the majority of his OCR career, he was the perfect guest to talk about these events. We discuss 29 different events that are either still being put on today or left an impact in the time that they were still functional!

The events discussed were: Mythic Race, Hazelwood OCR, KC Timber Challenge, The Seige, Muddy Water OCR, Filthy Monkey, Wildwood Aventure Park, Witchita Gladiator Dash, Muddy Hutch, Conquer The Gauntlet, T.H.O.R. Texomas Hellacious Obstacle Race, Gladiator Assault Challenge, Frontline OCR, Midwest OCR, Spartan Race, Warrior Dash, Atlas Race, BattleFrog, Battle Of The Lions, Hammer Race, Big Red Challenge, Dirt Runner, Terrain Race, Green Beret Challenge, Fugitive Run, Battlegrounds (Iowa), Primal Assault, Gorilla Dash, and City Challenge
